Honestly, this is a good little book of recipes for healthier eating. Even if you aren't into ketogenic diets, it still has a good starting point for some clean eating.
Budget friendly plant based recipes with less effort..... this book has 100 keto recipes which are so delicious.....
I recieved a free review copy of this book in return for an unbiased review.
I've been doing low carb or keto on and off for years now, mixed up with fasting / omad / carb binges occasionally. I've mainly used to keep control of my diabetes and so far it's worked however it can get boring very fast, especially when i'm working late and don't have much time to cook so i'm allways interested in keto cookbooks.
Right from the start Martina does many things right, too many other books are walls of text, large blocks that can be offputting and almost dark in the amount of black ink on page. This book is well designed, almost light in the visual appearance and well designed with a clean, simple layout.
Information is immediately presented in clear summaries e.g. low carb alternatives for common ingredients, tips on dinning out, as well other pertinent information. Recipes are clearly tagged with relevant information such as dairy free / nut free / vegetarian etc.
Guides on cooking common items and sauces are at the start of the book so by the time you move onto the recipes you're ready for them.
There's a large variety of recipes to chose from, i've tried a few dozen and they were all pretty quick to make, most are very easy though there's quite a few that you need the ingredients in advance sine you may not have them in your kitchen. I would prefer if the book illustrated to a higher level though, with more images of the meals/stages in cooking, however i enjoyed everything i made and found the book simple to use.
Whether you're looking for an introduction to keto cooking or for some more cooking ideas, the book is worth looking at. I
As the title says it’s keto recipes and keto for beginners just very simple. If you’re Already knowledgeable About keto this ain’t it.
This was a great book for learning how to follow the keto diet. The photos and directions were helpful, especially for someone new to the keto diet. I appreciated that the recipes were fairly diverse and creative. It felt less like a traditional diet and more like a way to get creative and have fun while eating healthier. I would recommend this book to friends, especially those looking into the keto diet for health reasons. We have since decided not to follow the keto diet for a while due to other health concerns, but for those with conditions like epilepsy, etc., this diet has provided a lot of healing progress and this book would be a great resource.
The book has a ton of pictures which I love in a cookbook. The recipes are not difficult and everything is easy to find! All the things I require and love in a cookbook.
I liked this Keto book but I have to say I think Martina Slajerova's other cookbooks have more interesting recipes.
Whenever I come across any Keto cookbooks, I have to first of all ensure that the author knows what he or she is talking about. Are the dishes actually safely low-carb? Does he or she actually live a keto lifestyle? Are the ingredients low-carb and easy to obtain? Are the recipes simple and easy to follow? Do the photos make the food look delicious?
On all counts above, Martina Slajerova passes with flying colors. I have seen her beautiful face on a particularly well known and trusted keto website, and have indeed copied some of her recipes featured there. Congrats to her too for her new ketoapp which looks extremely useful!
I spotted a few recipes in Keto Simple that I wanted to try out immediately.
Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for the ARC. This is my honest review.
Clean layout and delicious-looking recipes. Lots of white space and well-lit photos. I honestly felt healthier just paging through it. Very tasty recipes for everything from "cookie dough noatmeal" (like overnight oats without the oats) to pink coleslaw.
Short and sweet at 89 pages, Keto Simple will not take up much room on your cookbook shelf, but it will hold a place in your heart. Delicious recipes that are well balanced and contain lots of veggies and healthy proteins.
Some favorite recipes are pesto egg drop soup, chimichurri steak salad, taco mini meat pies, tandoori beef skillet, reuben hot pockets, blueberry cheesecake jars, and dark chocolate mousse.
Less of a diet book, this is more of a family favorites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Includes are sections on breakfast, soups and salads, snacks, sides, lunch box, dinners and desserts. You will find something to love here even if you don't follow a ketogenic diet.
Some great, easy Keto recipes. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.
Includes introductory material on Keto while emphasizing keeping it simple. Includes food lists - things to have on hand and things to avoid. Over 100 recipes - breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides, soups, salads, snacks and desserts. There are some with what I would call "moderately" fussy ingredients or equipment - things I don't generally buy or equipment I don't have like an immersion blender or a food processor or a double boiler - but there are also several recipes I could make with what I have on hand in my house right now. There are many recipes in this I plan to try. And some of the author's other titles are on my wish list, too.
I've loved all of Martina's books I've looked through and this one was no exception. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but I have quite a few bookmarked and look forward to reporting back. Some great ideas for making this lifestyle a bit easier, especially to adapt to my family.
It's so difficult to find tasty food recipes that don't take twenty odd steps and contain ingredients that are hard to find. Keto Simple is straightforward and easy to follow with ingredients that can already be found in the pantries that we have modified to fit our new lifestyles. The introduction is easy to read and gives a great overview of the Keto life. But my favorite part of all is the tips included with the recipes.
The keto cookbook is fantastic. It has dozens of interesting recipes that I can’t wait to make. The breakfast and salad sections are pure gold. The book seriously has tons of recipes I plan to use often. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review and I highly recommend it.
I am always looking for new healthy yet easy ideas for my busy life.Despite not being a keto-diet follower, I have found the recipes easy to follow,prep and with ingredients easy to find.
Beautiful pictures with simple yet yummy recipes!
A serious amount of Yum! packed in less than 200 pages. I honestly think you could use this book to meal plan for a whole month and not get bored.
I've been gluten-free (due to actual issues) for 8+ years and intermittent fasting for almost 2. I've been in the health care industry for 20 years and try to stay on top of "healthy" and "clean" eating. So with all that knowledge and "experience" I can honestly say --->Nearly every single page here had a great basis for a ketogenic style meal with plenty of flavors and alternates based on your eating preferences to either ease a transition into a Keto diet or to give you a some added kick to your Keto lifestyle. I mean some serious mouthwatering was involved in reviewing this book.
I'm not strictly Keto with my eating but I lean that way most times. I am absolutely looking forward to trying some of these recipes and can't wait to gift a copy to my sister when the book publishes!

A strict Keto diet isn't a diet for me, but some of the recipes are golden, and this book is no exception. Easy to understand, lots of lovely looking recipes, nice pictures... looking forward to trying some!
I am always on the hunt for cookbooks featuring healthy, quick and budget-friendly recipes! This is a great book for those interested in a lower carb diet. I appreciate that this book still includes many healthy, plant-based recipes - keto should still be nutritious! I look forward to trying several recipes, including Pesto Egg Drop Soup and Baked Egg Pots.
Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for a digital ARC!
Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of Keto Simple!
As with all of Martina Slajerova's cookbooks, this one features beautiful photography, easy to follow directions, and delicious sounding recipes! I'm excited to try out several of them, including the chocolate pancakes, cheesy pepperoni twists, and the three different truffle recipes. She includes helpful visuals to know which recipes are dairy free, egg free, nut free, etc and includes recipes for everyone! There is a wide variety for all different palates and if you are doing a low carb, keto diet, I would highly recommend any of her cookbooks!
